Thursday
I am finishing a cup of Ginseng Green Tea (oh, I can feel the brilliance seeping into my brain). Yum. And because I got the magazine into layout after a lot of hours of hard work yesterday, I’m now doing everything I should have been doing the rest of the week. Oh, to be a real editor, one who doesn’t also do the designing and publishing! Anyhow. It’s fun, really, and I can’t complain. I get to listen to copious streaming archives of This American Life and drink tea while I do it.
Anthropologie sends me a lot of mail, both of the e and snail varieties, and I don’t mind because it’s pretty, but this “how to make a room your own” site that came in their last email is actually pretty cool. I especially love the library.
Tonight we are going to Alchemy, a local gastropub up the street from us, for Restaurant Week. Also, speaking of Brooklyn, I am crossing fingers, toes, and all other appendages in hopes that the letter from Bank of America which confirms that we do indeed have an account with them (nevermind that we have statements to prove it!) will arrive today, a full two weeks after it was requested, so that we can finally submit our application for the apartment. We are hopeful.
Lastly, Colin, who is awesome, ordered one of my prints from RedBubble. It arrived in Scotland from Australia, and he took a couple pictures of the picture. He claims it looks quite good. So, artists/designers/photographers, get thee to RedBubble.

I’m happy to hear that ginseng green is good - I want to try it. I ordered my own creation of morning prayer tea …. hope it’s good!
I love all things Anthropologie. I just love walking around the stores - like art museums to me.
Hey, which magazine do you speak of?

Hi Alissa,
I’ve been a reader of your blog for a while now and always enjoy your articles at relevant mag, etc. I’m also a photographer and was wondering how the whole ‘redbubble’ thing works. Do they send you a check when you sell an item? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Heh. :) I realise I didn’t really mention the print quality to you as I was more curious about the framing etc. and these days I expect anywhere to have more than half decent digital photo production and this is the case.
The print has a fine lustre finish and is a more than acceptable photographic print. So, yeah, RedBubble rocks.
I also ordered a greeting card and a calendar. The greeting card is basically printed on photo paper too and folded so it feels a bit weird (the lustre finish) but image quality is excellent. Haven’t got the calendar yet…
